When it comes to cat-proofing structures like sheds, summerhouses, and inset gates, stability and durability are key. A crucial component that enhances both strength and aesthetics is the Cat Fence Corner Bracket Assembly. This kit is specifically designed to maintain the length of the overhang around corners, ensuring your cat-proofing system remains secure and visually seamless.
Why Use a Corner Bracket Extender?
Corners and edges are often the weakest points in any structure. Without proper reinforcement, they can become vulnerable to sagging, warping, or other structural weaknesses that could compromise the integrity of your enclosure. The corner bracket extender helps to fortify these critical points, providing long-lasting support and ensuring the system remains robust.
Versatile Corner Adaptors for Custom Fit
One of the standout features of the corner bracket assembly is its adaptability. The corner adaptor allows you to position the bracket for both internal and external use at various angles:
- Internal angles: Adjustable between 70° to 110°
- External angles: Adjustable between 250° to 290°
This flexibility ensures that your cat-proofing system can seamlessly accommodate different structures while maintaining a professional and secure finish.
Finishing Off a Cat Fence Barrier Section
Properly securing the end of your cat fence barrier is just as important as reinforcing its corners. Here’s how to ensure a sturdy and effective finish:
If your overhang system ends against a concrete or brick wall, using a hook to anchor the tip of the bracket to the surface will provide additional reinforcement. This method strengthens the mesh tension, creating a sleek finish while enhancing the overall effectiveness of the system.
Extending the Overhang Without a Surface
When the overhang does not finish against a solid surface, you can use a hook and wire to extend the mesh along the run. This approach ensures that tension remains even throughout, preventing weak spots that an adventurous cat could exploit.
Creating a Canopy for Extra Coverage
The same hook-and-wire method can also be used to build a canopy, which is particularly useful for covering areas such as:
✅ Window sills
✅ Garden furniture
✅ Bin storage spaces
By incorporating these finishing techniques, you can maximise the strength, functionality, and appearance of your cat-proofing system, ensuring your cats stays safe while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.
